Have you ever thought of building a hybrid iron set, something similar to the LaunchPad2 / Cleveland Launcher profile and not so much of the larger hybrid head like a Eleven or Lazrus?

I was just looking at a set of heads in my shop the other day. Never got around to shafting them…
Like I said in the past, we have done them, but no plans right now to do another like those. We are bringing back the M890, which will be the M980 this time around since the MPF is actually 980 points, and they are kind of like those sets, or at least fit the same kind of players that might consider that type of set up.
Always a chance we decide to something similar in the future, just nothing on the drawing board right now.

Hello,
This is Britt’s answer from the past:
“We have done them in the past. The AST Hybrid, the RDM and the Hybrid ST come to mind, but it’s been a while. We hae not plans at the moment to do a complete set of hybrids like what you describe. Although I think there is a place, for sets like that, they have never sold that well. I think with the development of more and more hybrids, most companies will recommend using more hybrids or high lofted fairways in combination with Ultra Game Improvement or Super Game Improvement irons. This basically is the new “hybrid’ set, in my opinion. The reality is that it’s not about whether the clubs in the sets are “hybrids”, it’s about how stable and forgiving they are based on their mass and dimensional characteristics. it just so happens that many modern hybrid designs have lower and more rearward cg’s, wider soles, and lower profiles and those features make them easier to hit for a lot of people.”
